The music was created especially for this game during the event by my friend Aziraphal, everything else was created from scratch by myself during the event.
For those struggling with the difficutly, here is my almost perfect gameplay (crashed a couple of seconds before finish): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdppLFe-UV0

(Just an advice to others before you play: maybe play it not at the loudest volume...)
Edit: i see that your friend made it. Big compliments to your friend :smile:
Edit2: glad to see that the hat made it into the game!
The hat sure made it, but seems to be missing from some of the splash screens :cry:
Starting while looking at the wall is absolutely sinful though. I died absent mindedly so any times because of this! It was somewhat funny to me whenever I'd chain kill myself against the wall on accident though.
Great job!!
Graphics simple, but it serves its purpose. The only thing I dislike is the discrepancy between the level art and the characters art (pixel art vs. cartoon?)
Overall, I enjoyed this little game. Good job!
I'm really bad at flappy-bird-esque games, but it's really well made anyways.
Good job!
The difference in the simple level pixel art and the character cartoon art gives me nostalgia for those old browser games you would find on Newgrounds or Armorgames, though it is a bit jarring. Music adds a lot of sillyness and fun too, making the game pretty charming.
The gameplay was very well balanced coming just short of being too difficult, and I found all the levels to be very enjoybale. I did almost have a run ending mishap when the elephant rotated mid-flight, but I managed to pull out a victory
The colliders on the sides can be a bit unforgiving, as you die even when the animal you are carrying touches the ground with one toe (which I found especially challenging in the dino level). But after I got used to the lack of forgiveness, I had fun with the game.
I honestly didn't see much point of the rest zones. At first, I thought they can function as checkpoints (saving progress in the level). But I tested that theory in the orca level, and it turned out not to be true. So, they seem unneeded to me.
It's a unique and engaging concept. Well done!
PS. Storky McStorkface must be the strongest stork in all the realm :smiley_cat:
Graphics were cute, sound was pretty on point as well. My only suggestion would be that sometimes when I finished a level, it seemed to take a while to load the next one. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to hit a button, or if it was loading in the background, or what. Maybe some on screen indication (either "press this button" or hey wait a second might be helpful) :)
Great entry!
